Bridgetown, Barbados - Dwayne Smith smashed a hurricane half-century and Kenroy Williams produced a solid all-around performance to help spur Barbados to a commanding five-wicket win over Combined Campuses & Colleges (CCC) in a 50-over Day/Night practice match at 3Ws Oval today.
With the teams stepping up their preparations for the WICB NAGICO Super50 championship in Trinidad & Tobago from January 30 to February 16, Smith showed why he is such a dangerous batsman by lashing 56 off 29 balls with eight fours and three sixes at the top as Barbados, chasing 165 to win, triumphed with a whopping 18.4 overs to spare.
Smith and Kraigg Brathwaite, who made nine, added 68 off 43 balls for the first wicket.
New Barbados Super50 captain Kevin Stoute, who looked in control in the field, scored 35 off 38 balls with two fours and one six, while Williams was unbeaten with 35 as well, having struck three boundaries in a 54-ball knock.
Left-arm spinner Kavem Hodge picked up two for seven and leg-spinner Akeem Dewar, two for 30.
After winning the toss, CCC were bowled out for 164 in 43.2 overs.
Former captain Kyle Corbin hit the topscore of 44 off 74 balls including two fours and two sixes.
Corbin and left-hander Raymon Reifer (27) put on 73 off 126 balls for the third wicket.
Fidel Edwards took three for 22, fellow fast bowler Miguel Cummins, three for 28, and off-spinner Williams, three for 39.
The teams will again clash in another practice match on Monday at the same venue, starting at 9 a.m.
Both Barbados and CCC are competing in Zone B, along with Trinidad and Tobago and the Leeward Islands in the NAGICO tournament.
